Product Description

 
A cult favorite (and one of director John Carpenter's personal favorites), BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA is a fantasy-action film that is brilliantly imaginative, funny, and absorbing. Kurt Russell plays hard-boiled truck driver Jack Burton, who gets caught in a bizarre conflict within, and underneath, San Francisco's Chinatown. An ancient Chinese prince and Chinatown crimelord has kidnapped a beautiful green-eyed woman, who is the fiancee to Jack's best friend. Jack must help his friend rescue the girl before the evil Lo Pan uses her to break the ancient curse that keeps him a fleshless and immortal spirit. Carpenter uses all the best elements of martial arts films, 1940s old action serials, Chinese mythology and straight-forward American adventure to make up a tale wild with imagination. Kurt Russell is wonderful as the brash, brave, and reluctant hero Jack Burton, who is hysterically out of place in this world of magic potions, goblins and curses. A visually stunning work that ranks as one of Carpenter'...

John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China

Date of Review:  Jul 9, 2001
The Bottom Line: This is a cult classic--if you like cult films, rent this one now.
Review: Big Trouble in Little China: 20th Century Fox
Rating: USA: PG-13

When John Carpenter?s film The Thing debuted in 1982, critics were quick to slam it as little more than a mindless gore film. Movie fans stayed away in droves (choosing...

Date of Review:  Nov 21, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is a great classic, and fun for the whole family.  A box office bomb that exploded on DVD.
Review: Big Trouble in Little China (1986) Directed by John Carpenter

When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if...

The Bottom Line: It's all in the reflexes.
Review: I was upstairs at the time, earlier today, when I heard a loud honking on the TV downstairs. Admittedly, I'm a movie freak, and that specific horn sounded familiar. I listened for a bit longer before realizing – my little sister had put on Big...

Quotes from the Movie

  "Hey, I'm a reasonable guy. But I've just experienced some very unreasonable things."--Jack Burton (Kurt Russell)

"Now I'm not saying that I've been everywhere and I've done everything, but I do know it's a pretty amazing planet we live on, and a man would have to be some kind of fool to think we're alone in this universe."--Jack Burton

"Next time some eight foot tall, wild-eyed maniac taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall and asks you if you've paid your dues, well, you just do what ol' Jack Burton always does at a time like that. You stare that sucker right back in the eye. 'Have you paid your dues, Jack?' 'Yes sir, the check is in the mail.'"--Jack Burton

"Oh, my God...what is that?"--Jack Burton

Format: DVD: Single Disc; Sensormatic, Big Trouble in Little China
Directed by thrill master John Carpenter, this edge-of-your seat adventure stars Kurt Russell as Jack Burton, a tough-talking, wisecracking truck driver whose hum-drum life on the road takes a sudden supernatural tailspin when his best friend s fiancee is kidnapped. Speeding to the rescue, Jack finds himself deep beneath San Francisco s Chinatown, in a murky, creature-filled world ruled by Lo Pan, a 2000-year-old magician who mercilessly presides over an empire of spirits. Dodging demons and facing baffling terrors, Jack battles his way through Lo Pan s dark domain in a full-throttle, action-riddled ride to rescue the girl. Co-starring Kim Cattrall, this effects-filled sci-fi spectacle speeds to an incredible, twist-taking finish.
